Claude 4 Model Selection Failure: Incorrect Model Generation
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jul 2, 2025 by rajivsinclair Closed Aug 20, 2025
This title captures the key technical issue - that despite settings specifying Claude 4 models, the system is defaulting to Claude 3 models instead of the requested Claude 4 generations.
Bug Description
my anthropic console logs indicate that claude code is never using the Claude 4 generation models! all of its work is with claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219 or claude-3-5-haiku-20241022 but I never see any use of claude 4 sonnet nor the claude 4 opus model that I have specifically requested in my Claude Code settings
